Your poem makes me think of this guy that went to the university with me. We meet one day, and the conversation when on kids. We knew he was gay, and every thing he said about kid, was always when the person and I decide to have kid. I found it sad that you cannot said to the world that you love someone because fearing what they gonna do to you!

This is a very poignant, thoughtful piece. People who claim to be “tolerant” and “open-minded” are sometimes really blind when it comes to those concepts. They think because they are not committing hate crimes or speaking the hate speech that they are fully accepting. They don’t realize that their “grimaces and stammers” and “uncomfortable silences” are just as cutting, sometimes even more so because of the hypocrisy.

I hope this is going to be in an upcoming story. Take care and have a great day.
